synopsis
SAVE THE INTERNET
The Internet of Tomorrow

Congress is pushing a law that would abandon the Internet's First Amendment -- a principle called Network Neutrality that prevents companies like AT&T, Verizon and Comcast from deciding which Web sites work best for you -- based on what site pays them the most. If the public doesn't speak up now, our elected officials will cave to a multi-million dollar lobbying campaign.

In 1986, a freak break dancing accident put Justin Schumacher in a coma. Now, 20 years later, he (Jamie Kennedy) is waking up to a new world and discovering that the more things change, the more he's stayed the same. With the girl of his dreams (Maria Menounos) engaged to marry his grade-school nemesis (Michael Rosenbaum), and his parents drowning in the debt of his medical costs, Justin must rally his former squad, bust a move, and win back the girl of his dreams.

1. SYNOPSIS
He may have worn hi-tops and parachute pants instead of a top hat and tails, but 12-year old Justin “Rocket Shoe” Schumaker and his killer moves could dance his way into just about any girl’s heart.

2. A BLAST FROM THE PAST
Ah! The 1980s! A decade where big hair and bigger shoulder pads were . . . well, big. Fabio, Charlie’s Angels and CHiPS, chiseled action heroes and talking cars, it all wasn’t just mindless kitsch to multi-faceted actor, comedian, producer and rapper Jamie Kennedy – it was an era he remembers with a great deal of fondness.

3. OLD SKOOL CAMEOS & A KICKIN’-ASS CAST
For director Harvey Glazer, working with a mix of young actors and familiar faces from the’80s offered some unique opportunities for comic inspiration.

4. THE LOOK, THE FEEL, THE FUN
The ’80s are an era that a lot of people are familiar with whether they lived through them or are reliving them 24/7 all over the world on syndicated television.

5. BUSTIN’ ALL THE RIGHT MOVES
Given the film’s title, the dance moves in Kickin’ It Old Skool are central to the movie’s theme. For Director Harvey Glazer, those break dance routines were a huge part of the fun for everyone on the set, and he feels it will be for audiences as well.
